Angelica - Rubber Black

 




This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat). The brush is okay and the formula is a tad on the thick side but okay to work with. It requires one coat, so that is always good. It is a nice black polish and has a slightly rubbery matte finish.

Angelica - Phantom

 




This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It is a lovely deep greeny blue colour that is slightly iridescent. It is lovely and lasted well. Did have slight staining upon removal, but nothing too serious.

Angelica - Merino

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3 minutes a coat). 1 thick coat would have done, but I used 2. It is a black with blue sparkles. It has a satiny finish. Lasted really well.

Angelica Feather




This is okay to use, okay to apply and slow drying (6-7 minutes a coat). It's a really pretty white with a subtle pink shimmer that was a devil to capture! You can just about make it out in the 2nd picture in the bottle. I did like this. Lasted well.

This is the glitter I put on top of Nubar Reef Green.



This is easy to use, easy to apply and kinda slow drying (5-6 minutes a coat). Make sure you dip the brush in and out a few times to get plenty of glitters on the brush for good coverage. It's really nice over the green. Lasted well.

Angelica Boom Pop

This is the glitter I put on top of Morgan Taylor Watt Yel-lookin' At? 



This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying (6-7 minutes for a coat). I had to dab it on more than actually painting, so it was quite thick! I think it looks really nice on the yellow. I thought it was a clear base, but it wasn't and it slightly changed the colour of the yellow to a more lime type colour. Lasted well.

Following 4 photos with flash.




***gasp top coat alert!***



**last photo without flash**



This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (2-3 minutes a coat). It's a nice matte polish with an almost hidden purple shimmer. It's really gorgeous. I took photos with the flash to show the shimmer and the last photo is just in my normal lighting, so you can see what it's like. I also popped a top coat on my index finger on my right hand, just so you could see the shimmer under a topper! I do really like the matte finish with the shimmer. Lasted really well.

This is the glitter topper that I put on Deborah Lippmann's Makin' Whoopee!



This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (about 4 minutes for a coat). You get really good coverage for 1 coat. It's a pretty glitter with all different colours and I think it looks good on the pinky! Lasted well.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (about 1 min for the 1st coat and about 2 mins for the 2nd). It very shiny and foil like. And it's a pretty light blue colour! Lasted really well! Dazzling.

Angelica Valentines Kiss

Having been impressed with the last Angelica polish I tried, I thought I'd check out their website and see what was on offer - fatal! I bought this and 2 others.




This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying. The brush is really good and the lid is easy to hold. It's a lovely red-pinky colour with glitter sparkles. Lasted really well. Shipping to the UK is £3 but they don't mention that on the site :-s

Angelica Bewitched

I decided to put a glitter top on the last post!



This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying. The brush is good and you get a good coverage with just one coat! It's a green glitter polish with holographic silver bars. I think it looks nice on the purple! Lasted well.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and fairly slow drying. Oh it's iridescent.... greens, purples and bronzes can be spotted! It's also slightly smelly too. Lasted really well and it looks amazingly awesome.

Angelica Twilight

Yah Primark in Scotland finally have these nail polishes!





This is okay to use and okay to apply. The brush isn't the best I've used and the formula was slightly gloopy. It's mega mega slow drying as well and it's quite smelly, like the older polishes due to not being 'nasty chemical free'! But all that said, it's worth it because it's cool and iridescent :-) It changes from a gorgeous deep blue to a gorgeous deep purple, you can just about make it out in the pics. Lasted okay.
